​The Nomination: Diamond Orin is very inspiring because she had been bullied since sixth grade and continues to be, but she chooses to always find the positive out of a bad situation. She uses modeling to cope from all the negative and make it positive by being who she is and not letting anyone change that. She also swims which helps her cope with it and be able to help others in need throughout their troubles. She will continue to grow and inspire many young children, athletes, and even us adults to be ourselves and not let others break us down.

​Ginger Burlew has been part of my Teen Influencer Team for the past 3 years. She was recommended to me by one of my Team girls at the time for a Back to School shoot I wanted to do because she had an interest in Modeling and I just fell in love with her! Her smile is infectious, and her upbeat personality just makes you feel happy! She has been a Varsity Cheerleader and participated in National Competitions. She coached kids with disabilities in a program called Sparkle during this time. She was a leader in her Connect Club at her High School which is involved with making kids with disabilities get more connected in the school. During her time on the Lisa Shifflett Photography Team she decided she wanted to pursue her Modeling dream and she set about finding out information on how to get signed to an agency. She did all the research and submissions on her own and landed a contract with a modeling Agency at 15! She is a generous and giving teenager and I hope you will consider her as an Inspiring Teen!
